We highlighted three notable names yesterday based on pre-earnings positioning signals surfaced by Quantmatix. Here's how those signals are playing out:
📉 ATI (Bearish Signal) – Shares dropped ~6% pre-market after soft guidance and a revenue miss confirmed the signal.
📈 CVS (Bullish Signal) – Stock surged 8–9% pre-market following a strong beat and raised outlook, in line with the bullish positioning we picked up.
📉 AMZN (Bearish Signal) – Reports after the close tonight for a potential “hat-trick.” Despite early strength, our signal suggests caution into the print.
💡 The Takeaway
While earnings results are binary by nature, market positioning ahead of events often reveals underlying sentiment.
These recent outcomes reinforce how data-informed signals can offer valuable perspective before the headlines hit.
